Fractional CTO for secure, private and compliant Azure and AI
Get clear answers on how safe you really are, a simple 90 day plan, and an Azure setup where changes run like clockwork without breaking the rules.
We line up your Azure, AI and evidence with the rules that apply to you, from SOC 2 and ISO 27001 to PDPL and AI governance, so investors, customers and regulators see a clear, defensible picture.

Delivery confidence
Launching quickly should not mean deploying without confidence. I design lightweight, resilient delivery pipelines and only add guardrails where they earn their keep, so you get repeatable deployments with fewer rollbacks or hidden dependencies. You can iterate fast without chaos and without quietly breaking the controls and compliance you rely on.
Compliance readiness
Audits should not grind you to a halt. I design access control, audit logs, separation of duties and Privileged Identity Management (PIM) into your systems from day one. That puts you in strong shape for SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, PDPL and AI standards such as ISO 42001, with evidence produced as part of normal work, not rushed before an audit.
Cloud cost control
Unmanaged spend blows early runs. I map your Azure usage, enforce tagging, set budgets and enable cost alerting so you operate with bank level control at start up speed. At the largest Swiss Bank this approach helped cut around 520,000 dollars per month from Azure spend while improving reliability. Your numbers will differ, but the pattern is similar, fewer surprises and calmer conversations with finance.
I built secure, scalable systems for one of Azure’s largest estates and now apply that experience to lean, growing teams. Recent work includes helping UBS cut significant Azure spend while improving governance, supporting an AI biotech on its SOC 2 journey, and acting as fractional CTO for an alternative investment platform.
I integrate compliance as part of the build. Access control, audit logs, separation of duties and PIM are part of the design, so staying within the rules is a side effect of normal work, not a last minute scramble.
I’ve guided founders shipping under pressure and delivered audit‑happy infrastructure without slowing teams down. That founder empathy ensures I lead technology where it’s needed—not for titles.
I integrate compliance as part of the build: access control, audit logs, separation of duty and PIM form the design, so compliance isn’t risky work at 1.5× velocity.
